Adele is really and truly sorry to all of her fans, particularly the ones living in the Phoenix area. But, unfortunately, a nasty cold prevented her from performing her scheduled August 17 concert at Talking Stick Resort Arena. One might think that the vaunted desert climate would have cleared all that up, but no. Naturally, the concert will be rescheduled, and refunds will be made available to anyone who cannot attend the show on another date. It’s all quite upsetting. Reeling from the arbitrary unfairness of it all, Adele took to social media last Wednesday, posting a contrite, minute-long apology video to her Twitter account. Here, Adele’s illness can be plainly seen in the pronounced redness of her nose and eyes, and her valuable voice is much raspier than usual, too.
Sad as this message is, something about this video must have struck Chelsea Peretti as incredibly funny, however, since the comedian and Brooklyn Nine-Nine actress posted her own, pitch-perfect parody to Twitter in three installments.
